Poker pro analyzes how much aggression is profitable using Linus Love's high-stakes hands. Covers GTO betting frequencies, exploitative strategies against population leaks, and when aggressive play becomes counterproductive in modern poker games.

Aggression works through fold equity and value extraction, but overaggression against skilled opponents leads to costly counter-exploitation.

Strategic Aggression Mastery:

  • Pot-sized betting forces opponents into difficult mixing frequencies with marginal holdings
  • Small bet sizing simplifies decisions and exploits population's insufficient check-raise frequency
  • Turn barreling with equity and blockers maximizes fold equity against capped ranges
  • Exploitative aggression targets spots where population overfolds by 7+ percentage points
  • River overbluffing with ace-high becomes profitable only against specific overfold thresholds
  • Counter-exploitation risk increases when deviating from GTO against aware opponents
  • Population leak analysis reveals profitable spots for increased bluffing frequency
